Whats the easiest way to get my data?

One of the previous updates seemed to crash my Macbook, as far I know the drive still works but it just won't start, and the cd drive is broken so I can't do an archive and install. I just upgraded to a Macbook Pro and I tried to swap HDs and install the new software on the old drive but the install doesn't go through. Any ideas on how I can get my stuff from the HD? I was thinking about putting the old drive back in the MBP and doing an archive and install using the old install disk to get it running again, but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas.

I have one and it works great with IDE drives, with SATA drives, even with an old external ATAPI CD burner...

Thanks, I was just looking for one of those. One question though before I buy something, I've tried to install SL on the old HD that was running Tiger and it fails about half way through (Something not being able to copy files) Is that going to be a problem when I try and get the files from it?
